The invention relates to new substituted triazolinones, several processes for their preparation and their use as herbicides and plant growth regulators.

It is known that certain nitrogen-heterocyclics, such as, for example, imidazolidin-2-one-1-carboxylic acid isobutylamide (compare, for example, K. H. B uchel "Pflanzenschutz und Sch adlingsbek ampfung" ("Plant Protection and Pest Control") page 170, Thieme Verlag Stuttgart 1977) or 1-phenyl-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-methyl-perhydropyrimidin-2-one (compare, for example, European Patent 58,868 or DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,237,479) have herbicidal properties.

However, the herbicidal activity of these already known compounds against problem needs, like their tolerance towards important crop plants, is not always completely satisfactory in all fields of use.

Certain substituted triazolinones, such as, for example, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-isopropylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-ethylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-isopropylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-ethylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-methylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-one, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-propylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-allylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione and 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-methylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione, are furthermore known (compare DE-OS (German Published Specification) 2,707,801). Nothing is as yet known of an activity of these already known triazolinones as herbicides or plant growth regulators.

It is also known that certain substituted amino-carbonylimidazolinones, such as, for example, 1-isobutylaminocarbonyl-2-imidazolidinone (isocarbamid), have herbicidal properties (cf. R. Wegler, Chemie der Pflanzenschutz-und und Sch adlingsbek ampfungsmittel [Chemistry of Plant Protection Agents and Pesticides], Volume 5, p. 219, Springer-Verlag, Berlin-Heidelberg-New York, 1977). However, the action of this compound is not satisfactory in all respects.

New substituted triazolinones of the general formula (I) ##STR8## in which R¹ represents hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkinyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkylalkyl or cycloalkyl, or represents in each case optionally substituted aralkyl or aryl,

R² represents a radical ##STR9## or represents a radical --S(O)_(n) --R⁷, R³ and R⁴ independently of one another each represent hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkinyl, cyanoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl or alkoxycarbonylalkenyl, or represent in each case optionally substituted cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, cycloalkenyl or cycloalkenylalkyl, or represent optionally substituted heterocyclylalkyl, or represent in each case optionally substituted aralkyl, aroyl or aryl, or represent alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkinyloxy, aralkyloxy or aryloxy, or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, represent an optionally substituted heterocyclic radical,

X represents oxygen or sulphur and

Y represents oxygen or sulphur,

wherein

R⁵ and R⁶ independently of one another each represent alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkinyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl, or represent in each case optionally substituted aryl, aralkyl or heteroaryl, or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, represent an optionally substituted heterocyclic radical, R⁷ represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl, or represents in each case optionally substituted aralkyl or aryl and n represents the number 0, 1 or 2, but wherein R² only represents a radical --S(O)_(n) --R⁷ if R³ and R⁴ do not simultaneously represent methyl,

have been found.

It has furthermore been found that the new substituted triazolinones of the general formula (I) ##STR10## in which R¹, R², R³, R⁴, X and Y have the abovementioned meaning,

are obtained by a process in which

a) 1-chloro-(thio)-carbonyltriazolinones of the formula (II) ##STR11## in which

R¹, R², X and Y have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with amines of the formula (III) ##STR12## in which

R³ and R⁴ have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent, or

b) in the case where R³ denotes hydrogen, by a process in which triazolinones unsubstituted in the 1-position, of the formula (IV) ##STR13## in which

R¹, R² and X have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with iso(thio)cyanates of the formula (V)

    R.sup.4 --N═C═Y                                    (V)

in which

R⁴ and Y have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of a reaction auxiliary.

Finally, it has been found that the new substituted triazolinones of the general formula (I) have herbicidal and growth-regulating properties.

Surprisingly, the substituted triazolinones of the general formula (I) according to the invention exhibit a considerably higher herbicidal potency against problem weeds than the nitrogen-heterocyclics known from the prior art, such for example, imidazolin-2-one-1-carboxylic acid isobutylamide or 1-phenyl-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-methyl-perhydropyrimidin-2-one, which are closely related compounds chemically and from the point of view of their action and moreover also have growth-regulating properties.

In process (b') according to the invention, preparation of the new compounds of the formula (Ia) is preferably carried out using diluents. Diluents which are suitable for this purpose are virtually all inert organic solvents, for example those which have been indicated above for process (a') according to the invention.

Acid acceptors which can be employed in process (b') according to the invention are all acid-binding agents which can customarily be used for reactions of this type. The following are preferably suitable: alkali metal hydroxides, such as, for example, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as, for example, calcium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates and alkali metal alcoholates, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium tert-butylate and potassium tert-butylate, furthermore aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic amines, for example triethylamine, trimethylamine, dimethylaniline, dimethylbenzylamine, pyridine, 1,5-diazabicyclo-[4,3,0]-non-5-ene (DBN), 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]-octane (DABCO).

In formula (VIa), R^(3') and Z' preferably, or in particular, have those meanings which have already been mentioned above in connection with the description of the compounds of the formula (Ia), or (IVa), according to the invention as being preferred, or particularly preferred, for R³ and Z.

Process (c') according to the invention is preferably carried out using diluents. The same organic solvents which have been mentioned above in connection with the description of process (a') according to the invention are suitable for this purpose.

If appropriate, process (c') is carried out in the presence of an acid acceptor. The same acid-binding agents which have been mentioned above in connection with the description of process (b') according to the invention are suitable for this purpose.

In process (c') according to the invention, the reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the process is carried out at temperatures between 0° C. and 100° C., preferably at temperatures between 10° C. and 60° C.

In general, process (c') according to the invention is carried out under atmospheric pressure. However, it is also possible to carry out the process under increased or reduced pressure.

For carrying out process (c') according to the invention, the specifically required starting substances are generally employed in approximately equimolar amounts. However, it is also possible to use one of the two specifically employed components in a substantial excess. In general, the reactions are carried out in a suitable diluent in the presence of an acid acceptor, and the reaction mixture is stirred for several hours at the specifically required temperature. In process (c') according to the invention, working-up is carried out in each case by customary methods.

For converting the compounds of the formula (I) into salts, they are stirred with suitable salt formers, such as, for example, sodium hydroxide, sodium methylate, sodium ethylate, potassium hydroxide, potassium methylate or potassium ethylate, ammonia, isopropylamine, dibutylamine or triethylamine, in suitable diluents, such as, for example, water, methanol or ethanol. The salts can be isolated as crystalline products--then if appropriate after concentration.

The actives compounds according to the invention can be used as defoliants, desiccants, agents for destroying broad-leaved plants and, especially, as weedkillers. By weeds, in the broadest sense, there are to be understood all plants which grow in locations where they are undesired. Whether the substances according to the invention act as total or selective herbicides depends essentially on the amount used.

The active compounds according to the invention can be used, for example, in connection with the following plants:

Dicotyledon weeds of the genera: Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonurn, Sesbania, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Solanum, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea, Trifolium, Ranunculus and Taraxacum.

Dicotyledon cultures of the genera: Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Linum, Ipomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Arachis, Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis and Cucurbita.

Monocotyledon weeds of the genera: Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Arena, Cypefus, Sorghum, Agropyron, Cynodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis, Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Dactyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus and Apera.

Monocotyledon cultures of the genera: Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus and Allium.

However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.

The compounds are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total combating of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail tracks, and on paths and squares with or without tree plantings. Equally, the compounds can be employed for combating weeds in perennial cultures, for example afforestations, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hop-fields, on lawn, turf and pasture-land, and for the selective combating of weeds in annual cultures.

In particular, the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention are suitable for selectively combating monocotyledon and dicotyledon weeds in monocotyledon crops, either using the pre-emergence or the post-emergence method. They are markedly more effective than, for example, isocarbamid.

To a certain extent, the compounds according to the invention also show fungicidal action, for example against Pyricularia on rice.

The active compounds according to the invention moreover engage in the metabolism of the plants and can therefore be employed as growth regulators.

Experience to date of the mode of action of plant growth regulators has shown that an active compound can also exert several different actions on plants. The actions of the compounds depend essentially on the point in time at which they are used, relative to the stage of development of the plant, and on the amounts of active compound applied to the plants or their environment and the way in which the compounds are applied. In every case, growth regulators are intended to influence the crop plants in the particular manner desired.

The amount of leaf on plants can be controlled, under the influence of growth regulators, so that defoliation of the plants at a desired point in time is achieved. Such defoliation is of great importance in the mechanical harvesting of cotton, but is also of interest for facilitating harvesting in other crops, such as, for example, in viticulture. Defoliation of the plants can also be carried out to lower the transpiration of plants before they are transplanted.

When applied in appropriate amounts, the active compounds according to the invention also exhibit an insecticidal, bactericidal and fungicidal activity and can be used, for example, for combating hygiene and pests of stored products or for combating fungal diseases in cereals and rice-growing, such as, for example, against the mildew of cereal causative organism (Erysiphe graminis) or against the rice spot disease causative organism (Pyricularia oryzae). In this field of use, the active compounds according to the invention also show systemic properties, in addition to good protective properties.

Depending on their particular physical and/or chemical properties, the active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, very fine capsules in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seed, and furthermore in formulations used with burning equipment, such as fumigating cartridges, fumigating cans, fumigating coils and the like, as yell as ULV cold mist and warm mist formulations.

These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents and/or foam-forming agents.

In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents. As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, as well as water.

As solid carriers there are suitable: for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-disperse silica, alumina and silicates, as solid carriers for granules there are suitable: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; as emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there are suitable: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates as well as albumen hydrolysis products; as dispersing agents there are suitable: for example ligninsulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latexes, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Further additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

The formulations in general contain between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

For combating weeds, the active compounds according to the invention, as such or in the form of their formulations, can also be used as mixtures with known herbicides, finished formulations or tank mixes being possible.

Suitable herbicides for the mixtures are known herbicides, such as, for example, 1-amino-6-ethylthio-3-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-(1H, 3H)-dione (AMETHYDIONE) or N-(2-benzothiazolyl)-N,N'-dimethylurea (METABENZTHIAZURON) for combating weeds in cereals; 4-amino-3-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H) -one (METAMITRON) for combating weeds in sugar beet, and 4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (METRIBUZIN) for combating weeds in soya beans; furthermore also 2,4-dichlrophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D); 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-butyric acid (2,4-DB); 2,4-dichlorophenoxypropionic acid (2,4-DP); 3-isopropyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4-one 2,2-dioxide (BENTAZONE); methyl 5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate (BIFENOX); 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxy-benzonitrile (BROMOXYNIL); 2-chloro-N{[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) -amino]-carbonyl}benzenesulphonamide (CHLORSULFURON); N,N-dimethyl-N'-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)-urea (CHLORTOLURON); 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-pheoxy]-propionic acid, its methyl ester or its ethyl ester (DICLOFOP); 4-amino-6-t-butyl-3-ethylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one(ETHIOZIN);2-{4-[(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyl)-oxy]-phenoxy}-propanoic acid, its methyl ester or its ethyl ester (FENOXAPROP); [(4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridin-yl)-oxy]-acetic acid or its 1-methylheptyl ester (FLUROXYPYR); N-phosphonomethylglycin (GLYPHOSATE); methyl 2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-4(5)-methylbenzoate (IMAZAMETHABENZ); 3,5-diiodo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile (IOXYNIL); N,N-dimethyl-N'-(4-isopropylphenyl)-urea (ISOPROTURON); (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy)-acetic acid (MCPA); (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)-propionic acid (MCPP); N-methyl-2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yloxy)-acetanilide (MEFENACET);2-{[[((4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino)-carbonyl]-amino]-sulphonyl}-benzoic acid or its methyl ester (METSULFURON); N-(1-ethylpropyl)-3,4-dimethyl-2,6-dinitroaniline (PENDIMETHALIN); 0-(6-chloro-3-phenyl-pyridazin-4-yl)-S-octyl thiocarbamate (PYRIDATE); 4-ethylamino-2-t-butylamino-6-methylthio-s-triazine (TERBUTRYNE) and methyl 3-[[[[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-amino]-carbonyl]-amino]-sulphonyl]-thiophene-2-carboxylate (THIAMETURON). Surprisingly, some mixtures also show synergistic action.

Mixtures with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, bird repellants, plant nutrients and agents which improve soil structure, are also possible.

The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or in the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing or scattering.

The active compounds according to the invention can be applied either before or after emergence of the plants. They can also be incorporated into the soil before sowing.

The amount of active compound used can vary within a substantial range. It depends essentially on the nature of the desired effect. In general, the amounts used are between 0.01 and 15 kg of active compound per hectare of soil surface, preferably between 0.05 and 10 kg per ha.

When used as growth regulators, the active compounds according to the invention can likewise be present in the formulations as a mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides and herbicides, and also as mixtures with fertilizers and other growth regulators.

The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or as the use forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions, foams, suspensions, wettable powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusting agents and granules. They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, scattering, dusting, foaming, coating and the like. Furthermore, it is possible to apply the active compounds in accordance with the ultra-low volume process or to inject the active compound preparation or the active compound itself into the soil. It is also possible to treat the seeds of plants.

The amounts thereby applied can likewise be varied within a substantial range. When used as growth regulators, 0.01 to 50 kg, preferably 0.05 to 10 kg, of active compound are generally used per hectare of soil surface.

As regards the time of application, the growth regulators are applied within a preferred period of time, the exact definition of which depends on the climatic and vegetative circumstances.

Example 315 ##STR417## (Process (a'))

3.0 g (20.7 mmol) of 4-methyl-5-methylthio-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one are dissolved in 60 ml of acetonitrile, and 7.0 g (29 mmol) of 2-methoxycarbonyl-phenylsulphonyl-isocyanate, dissolved in 20 ml of acetonitrile, are added to this solution with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred at 20° C. for 6 hours. The product which is obtained in crystalline form is then isolated by filtration with suction.

This gives 6.0 g (75% of theory) of 4-methyl-5-methylthio-2-(2-methoxycarbonyl-phenylsulphonyl-aminocarbonyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 184° C.

Example 316 ##STR418## (Process (b'))

1.7 g (11.2 mmol) of 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) and 2.7 g (11.2 mmol) of 2-trifluoromethoxybenzenesulphonamide are added to a solution of 3.0 g (11.3 mmol) of 4-amino-5-methylthio-2-phenoxycarbonyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one in 60 ml of methylene chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred for 4 hours at 20° C., then washed twice with 1% strength hydrochloric acid and three times with water, dried with sodium sulphate, and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated, the residue is stirred with diethyl ether, and the product which is obtained in crystalline form is isolated by filtration with suction.

This gives 2.1 g (45% of theory) of 4-amino-5-methylthio-2-(2-trifluoromethoxy-phenylsulphonyl-aminocarbonyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 136° C.

Starting Substances of the Formula (IIa) Example (X-1) ##STR538## Step 1 ##STR539##

A solution of 175 g (2.4 mol) of methyl isothiocyanate in 300 ml of diethyl ether is added to a solution of 250 g (2.4 mol) of ethyl hydrazinoformate, with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred for 12 hours at 20° C. and then cooled to about 10° C., and the product which is obtained in crystalline form is isolated by filtration with suction. This gives 404 g (95% of theory) of 4-methyl-1-ethoxycarbonylthiosemicarbazide of melting point 130° C.

The following are obtained analogously:

4-ethyl-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 142° C.);

4-propyl-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 117° C.);

4-cyclopropyl-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 148° C.);

4-allyl-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 151° C.);

4-dimethylamino-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 144° C.).

Step 2 ##STR540##

A mixture of 10.0 g (56.5 mmol) of 4-methyl-1-ethoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (cf. Step 1), 4.0 g (29 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 80 ml of ethanol is refluxed until the evolution of gas has ceased (about 3 hours). When the mixture is cold, it is concentrated, the residue is stirred with 50 ml of methylene chloride, and the product, which has remained undissolved, is isolated by filtration with suction.

This gives 9.2 g (96% of theory) of the potassium salt of 5-mercapto-4-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (melting point >230° C.).

The potassium salts of

5-mercapto-4-ethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, 5-mercapto-4-propyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, 5-mercapto-4-cyclopropyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, and 5-mercapto-4-allyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, and 5-mercapto-4-dimethylamino-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, all of which melt above 230° C., are obtained analogously.

Step 3 ##STR541##

A mixture of 4.0 g (23.7 mmol) of the potassium salt of 5-mercapto-4-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (cf. Step 2), 4.1 g (28.9 mmol) of methyl iodide and 80 ml of methanol is stirred for 12 hours at 20° C. The mixture is then concentrated, the residue is stirred with methylene chloride, and the potassium iodide, which has remained undissolved, is separated off by filtration. The filtrate is concentrated, the residue is stirred with 500 ml of diethyl ether/petroleum ether (1:1 by vol.), and the product which has been obtained in crystalline from is isolated by filtration with suction.

This gives 3.4 g (99% of theory) of 4-methyl-5-methylthio-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 97° C.

For example the compounds of the formula (IIa) listed in Table 5 below can also be prepared analogously to Example (XI-1). ##STR542##

Starting Substances of the Formula (IVa) Example (XIII) ##STR548##

22.1 g (0.141 mol) of phenyl chloroformate are added to a mixture of 20.0 g (0.137 mol) of 4-amino-5-methylthio-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, 5.6 g (0.141 mol) of sodium hydroxide, 0.2 g of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 200 ml of methylene chloride/water (1:1, by vol.), with vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred for 12 hours at 20° C., and the product which is obtained in crystalline form is isolated by filtration with suction. This gives 34.8 g (95% of theory) of 4-amino-5-methylthio-2-phenoxycarbonyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 211° C.

Example A

Pre-Emergence Test

Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Seeds of the test plants are sown in normal soil and, after 24 hours, watered with the preparation of the active compound. It is expedient to keep constant the amount of water per unit area. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation is of no importance, only the amount of active compound applied per unit area being decisive. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:

0%=no action (like untreated control)

100%=total destruction

In this test, for example, the following compounds according to the invention exhibit a clearly superior activity compared with the prior art: 2, 10, 14, 39, 43, 48, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58, 65, 68, 71, 315, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 327, 331, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 348, 349 and 351.

Example B

Post-Emergence Test

Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Test plants which have a height of 5-15 cm are sprayed with the preparation of the active compound in such a way as to apply the particular amounts of active compound desired per unit area. The concentration of the spray liquor is so chosen that the particular amounts of active compound desired are applied 2,000 l of water/ha. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:

0%=no action (like untreated control)

100%=total destruction

In this test, for example, the following compounds according to the invention exhibit a clearly superior activity compared with the prior art: 1, 2, 10, 14, 17, 32, 34, 36, 37, 39, 43, 50, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58, 65, 68, 315, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 327, 328, 330, 331, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 345, 346, 348, 349, 351, 352 and 354.

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound mixed with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier and the mixture is made up to the desired concentration with water.

Example D

Pyricularia Test (Rice)/Protective

Solvent: 12,5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 0,3 parts by weight of alkylarylpolyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, and the concentrate is diluted with water and the stated amount of emulsifier, to the desired concentration.

To test for protective activity, young rice plants are sprayed with the preparation of active compound until dripping wet. After the spray coating has dried off, the plants are inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of Pyricularia orycae. The plants are then placed in a greenhouse at 100% relative atmospheric humidity and 25° C.

Evaluation of the disease infestation is carried out 4 days after the inoculation.

In this test, a clearly superior activity compared with the prior art is shown, for example, by the compounds according to the following preparation examples: 315, 317, 318, 319, 321, 323.
